Hello, hello....

Hi everyone! I hope your training is going well and that you are looking forward to the race on May 10. Has everyone signed up yet? If you have any questions on signing up, what to expect, or on anything else either send me an email or post a comment and we will see if we can help.

Running at 70?!?!?
I hope that I am still running when I turn 70 as well as older. This Runners World article gives some insight on what type of training should be done during each decade. These suggestions should help you on your way to achieving YOUR goals. Remember that every person is unique with different bodies, speeds, and goals. Therefore I suggest you utilize these ideas to improve your training and not to as a comparison tool. :)

OK, let’s talk boobs. Guys if you are reading this it won’t be as interesting as you would hope….

I am pretty cheap when it comes to the clothes I wear. I step away from that when I buy my running shoes, and have decided that it was time to buy a new sports bra. My brain says to run down to Meijer to pick up the cheapest one I can find. I am not going to, and it is not only because we don’t have Meijer in Denver or anything really of the equivalent, well we have Wal-Mart but….I don’t like to shop there. I have decided that it is time to get a sports bra that fits and has been well tested with high reviews. Luckily Runners World has a fabulous article just on this topic.

Along with the article, check this link out to see if you are actually sizing yourself correctly.

BRRRR it's cold out there!!! What should I wear?
I ask myself this question often before I go out for a run. I have just stumbled across a handy tool here. I plan to try it out next week when our temps are supposed to go down again. If you get a chance to try it out and wear what they suggest let us all know how accurate you think it is.

I'm not feeling so wordy today, but perhaps another post will go up at the end of the week.

Until next time...

Hideous Layout

I think our idea of a layout was to be so bad that it sparked protest, leading to someone wanting to take up the reins of a redesign, or at least basic ideas about how to put two colors together. As it stands, I sort of like the way it looks. It's like MySpace imagined by Blogger. The only thing it needs is an auto-play music applet that blasts Creed at you when you load the page... that's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll find said crappy applet and load a running song on it. That way, people can plug headphones into their laptops and go running, carrying their laptop between hotspots to keep the song streaming. Awesome!
